Great place to work focused on continual improvement.

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent Pay Good Bonus Good work life balance Continually focused on improvement of company as a whole and on employee satisfaction

Cons

The focus on improvement is in the early stages, so there's lots of work to be done. Still lots of mainframe focus. Too many project managers. Too many contract developers. Would probably be better off replacing some with loyal internal employees who know the business which would also reduce the need for so many project managers/app consultants.
